Hardback. Condition: New. This book contains analysis of different domains of contemporary art in China seen through the lens of the epistemological changes described in China Pluperfect I: Epistemology of Past and Outside in Chinese Art. It first looks at the concept of "ink art," describing how it meant different things to different people in the former colony and how these different meanings came to determine certain institutional choices made at the beginning of the 21st century. The following chapters are dedicated to issues related to the urban and rural contexts for art creation in Mainland China and Hong Kong. One chapter observes the ups and downs of the representations of cities in the history of the People's Republic of China and how they have defined a certain idea of culture. Another looks at how Chinese cities have been exceptional centers of art creations over the last thirty to forty years through the example of Shenzhen where a vibrant art scene, albeit closely connected to Hong Kong which has become a major art hub in the last two decades, has developed. The following is dedicated to the changing fortunes of art making in the countryside, observing how institutions in the Mainland and in Hong Kong have supported these practices very differently.Frank Vigneron finally considers how the different speeds of globalization, slow in the past and fast today, have determined some of the issues of past and outside in the present, particularly in the context of socially engaged art in both the Mainland and Hong Kong.…

Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show gentle rubbing to the edges. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This is the first academic attempt to stop treating "Chinese Art" as one giant, monolithic block. Frank Vigneron argues that Hong Kong art is its own animal, distinct from the nationalistic definitions of mainland China. He uses the philosophical "heavy machinery" of Deleuze and Guattari - specifically the idea of Deterritorialization - to explain how Hong Kong artists take traditional Chinese elements, strip them of their original "territory" or meaning, and rebuild them into something hybrid, global, and uniquely Cantonese. - Not a Survey, but a Deep Dive: As the publisher notes, Vigneron isn't trying to list every artist in the city; instead, he uses the work of eighty specific artists to prove his point. - The "Body without Organs": He looks at how Hong Kong art functions like a "Body without Organs" - a system that is constantly shifting and reconnecting in new, unpredictable ways because it isn't tethered to a single national identity. - Hybridity over Tradition: The book explains why Hong Kong artists are "idiots" (his word in: "Coda: Plasticians Are Idiots") if they try to stay purely traditional. The real power of Hong Kong art lies in its infra-national status - being "Chinese" while simultaneously being something entirely different. It is a dense, high-theory book that is actually a love letter to the city's creative chaos. It's about the "nodes" and "connections" that make the city a unique cultural intersection; for people who want to understand why a piece of ink art in a Hong Kong gallery feels fundamentally different from one in Beijing or London.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Initially based on a comparative study of Chinese and Euro?American art theory in the 18th and 19th centuries, this book examines how both cultures looked at their own past and their outside, i.e. what was construed as not belonging to their own cultural sphere, and how they devised new ways of adapting them into evolving cultural constructs.While the 17th century was still a time when the epistemological backgrounds of both civilizations were so profoundly different that nearly no dialogue was possible, the 18th century saw the emergence in both places of profound changes that would get them close enough to create the conditions for the beginning of a conversation. First quite superficial and taking shape mostly in the decorative arts, this process of rapprochement, while remaining chaotic and unpredictable, led to wider and more profound zones of contact throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. Through the reinterpretations of each other's cultural creations, these zones of contact grew wider as the conditions for globalization became more and more prevalent.Frank Vigneron observes and explores these changes through texts and the visual arts to reveal how these two civilizations, while keeping their own characteristics, managed to develop fruitful dialogues and create deeply intertwined cultures. As an example, the final chapter looks at contemporary Chinese calligraphy as an art that, even though it has no equivalent in Euro?America, successfully integrated cross?cultural theoretical elements, thus exemplifying how past and outside can combine into new artistic constructs.…
